    HELP! New chick hatched late and can’t stand! Curled toes and wry neck!!

    My sister and I have been hatching chicks for the season (a sneaky hen hid her eggs too well and by the time we found them they were half way developed). We had moved part of the batch under another hen who was starting to brood, and a few into our incubator. One out of the three eggs in the...

    I incubated several of my Mille Fleur d'Uccle's eggs and Chester is the only one that hatched. She is 8 weeks old now.

    Spraddle leg 8 week old

    Three weeks ago we moved our hatchery chicks outside, and in the process had an accident with one of the Spitzhauben kids. This is totally, entirely, 120% our fault and I am the first to own that. Little girl Hobbes has been having symptoms of what appears to be spraddle or splayed leg in her...

    Splayed leg survivor acting very strange

    Can you tell me what this is all about? I'm at a loss. One of my quail chicks had splayed legs on day 1. Bandaged them like I've done to many other birds in the past. He is now 7 days old. Splayed legs are fixed. Eats, drinks, poops fine. Hangs out and naps with the others fine BUT his...

    Chick with possible twisted leg/slipped achilles tendon

    I have a buff brahma bantam chick that is 5 days old and has seemed to have hatched with a deformed leg. I looked up what it could be immediately and kept coming across splayed leg, so I tried hobbling her and doing "physical therapy" using a drinking glass. The more I read about splayed leg...
